(The original estimate was a little high)…Imperial County Public Health Officer says still, turnout Saturday was very good. Doctor Stephen Munday updated the County Board of Supervisors Tuesday on the local Flu situation. He said the First Seasonal Flu vaccination clinic was held at the IV Mall Saturday. He said over 4,000 vaccinations were distributed in the Food Court. That number was adjusted from the original estimate of 5,000. The bad news, according to Doctor Munday, is that there has been a break in the supply chain. He said that means there may not be as much vaccine available in Imperial County as originally thought. What supply there is will be divided between two major clinics and several smaller ones. The Health Department has scheduled several Senior Citizen Flu clinics. This week Senior Clinics will be held Thursday at Villa De Las Flores Apartments in Calexico and Friday at the Community Center in Ocotillo. Saturday a large Clinic will be held in the Gym at Calexico High School. On October 24 the third and last major seasonal flu clinic will be held at the Brawley Lion’s Center. The Senior Clinics are scheduled through November 25. Munday said the H1N1 vaccine is now expected to arrive the first week in November. H1N1 vaccination clinics will be scheduled once the vaccine arrives at the Health department. The Health Officer said priority for the H1N1 vaccination will be younger people. He said the target group is 25 and under. He said they appear to be the group most susceptible to the H1N1 virus. |
